This code challenge seems unrelated to the Paypal integration. Where is info on $_POST?

I don't know how to proceed with this code challenge. I'm unclear what is is actually asking me to do.

Adam,

  • Challenge 1 is asking you to add to the <form> tag that submits the form to the file process.php file.
  • Challenge 2 is asking you to add a method to the <form> tag that'll allow you to use the $_POST variables plus you need to add something to the <select> tag so the process.php file will be able to reference the form field using the $_POST.
  • Challenge 3 is asking you to add another field to the form that doesn't display the field in the browser. (Remember what the instructions are asking you to do and what is default for a form field).

Once you do this you will be able to pass the code challenge. I know the challenge is a little bit misleading, but read the instructions carefully and rewatch the videos if you need to. Good luck!

Cheers!
